## Overview
An **``array``** is a collection of multiple values, items, or elements of the same ``datatype`` in a single variable.

The **``tolist()``** function is used to convert a given array to an ordinary list with the same items, elements, or values.

## Syntax
The syntax of the `tolist()` function is given below:
```
array.tolist()
```
## Parameters

## Return value

## Example

Let's see an example.


# importing the array module
import array as arr

# creating an integer data type array
x = arr.array('i', [1,2,3,4,5,6,7])

# using the tolist() function to change the array to a list
y = x.tolist()

# Printing the list
print(y)
